I led several research teams through various projects. Projects were often presented at the Midwestern Psychology Association in Chicago.
- Parent Child Lab (PCL) & Mental Health Lab (MHL)- Spring 2022- ongoing
Together with Dr. Chelsea Klinkebiel, I have co-lead several research labs focused on parenting and/ or aspects of mental health. Currently, data collection is about to start examining college student's cognitive processes and well-being.
